The evidence for an Anglo-Saxon horse cult
The sixth century Anglo-Saxon cemetery at Broughton Lodge, right on the border of Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire includes five horses buried among the 120-or-so humans. Does this suggest there may have been some sort of 'horse cult' in early Anglo-Saxon England? Or is something English people still don't usually do even more convincing evidence of such a cult?
Bob Trubshaw explores the evidence in a YouTube video.
